Cheverny in the Loire Valley: The chateau that inspired Tintin's castle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The château of Cheverny is the most homogeneous and best preserved chateau of the Loire Valley. It was built in 10 years and was never restructured. It also didn't suffer much damage during the French revolution and all the sculptures and furniture are original to the castle.
The château of Cheverny also inspired cartoonist Hergé when designing the château de Moulinsart (Marlinspike Hall in English) where the adventures of Tintin take place.
Another thing to see at the chateau of Cheverny is the feeding of the dogs. Cheverny is a hunting lodge and they have a pack of more than 100 hounds. The feeding of the hounds every morning is an incredible spectacle to watch.

Enjoy!
Nothing better than a fantastic day in the Loire Valley at a beautiful chateau. Thanks for the historic information and again for sharing your videos.
We're glad you're not chateau'ed out yet because we have three more videos about the Loire Valley :)
We went there in 2019 , what an amazing place, such a lot to appreciate but WOW . You could almost do with a few visits, but it was great to see your video as a lovely reminder, thank you
We're glad you enjoyed our video and glad you enjoyed your visit at Cheverny. Amazing to see how well preserved it has been for all these years.
I used to love TinTin but had no idea that the Chateaux of Cheverny was inspired by it! Definitely very well preserved and looks really stunning with its beautiful decorations. Thanks for sharing! Learnt something new. - Triple P c/t
We're glad you enjoyed it. Beautiful chateau indeed.
very interesting video about the chateau of Cheverny in the Loire Valley. 1:20 I would like to wear this armor to see how heavy it is. 😀😀
These armors are normally 50 kg. We don't know how they did it.
Another gorgeous video from the Loire Valley! I can’t believe that was built in only 10 years…I thought it would took so much longer, given how huge it is! The guard room looks cool…I love that stuff! Dinnertime for the dogs is hilarious! Thanks for sharing guys!
Yes, the dogs were really something else.
You two have a great niche with chateaus - I love all of the history and information y'all give us. The meticulously decorated rooms really show off the beauty of this place. And the facades are breathtaking for French architecture. -c/t
Haha, three more to go and we're done with this series :).
awesome looking place, looks alot like my house....if you take away 99.9% of it.🤣
We're probably at 99.7% or 99.8%. Way better than you 😋😋😋!
Wow! I always love watching your vlog! Very informative and at the same time I feel like i'm there too watching those furniture and dogs! All the best!
Thanks. We're glad you enjoyed it :)
Tintin ❤️
Yes, that's the one.
The dog feeding looked amazing. How was the smell?
Haha, let's just say it felt that there were more than one dog 🐶🐶🐶🐶.
Oh wow.. the castle soo amazing, lovely place and TinTin
The tintin theme is throughout the castle and there is even a Tintin museum that we didn't feature in the video :).
been loving all the places that you guys visited so far from the other videos that i've watched - and this place does not disappoint, looks really beautiful and definitely well-preserved. i like how a lot of parts in the chateau are still original. the armor collections are so cool woah. aww the lego sculptures are so cool haha. Scooby Doo!!!! wow the King's Bedroom is insane. the ancient books wow. DOGS OMG how cuteeee. lots of cool and interesting information too! thanks for sharing! c/t
You're very welcome :)
Looks like a beautiful chateau! The dog feeding made me laugh, when the one dog dives over to get to the food 😂
We were joking we should have jumped into the fray to remove their bowl and see what happens 😁😁😁.
I think they would have eaten you alive! 😂
Love this video
Thanks. Cheverny was beautiful.
I hope i can visit this place one day
We hope you can too. We weren't sure what to expect because it is not the largest or most impressive chateau from the outside. But the inside was truly spectacular.
library scene is nice i love books
You would be in for a treat then :)
1:02 The ceiling has a sort of Himalayan thing going on. Not the painted motif so much but all those narrow beams. I've seen that in interior photos of Tibetan buildings, monastaries, I think.
It is actually typical of the Renaissance era architecture all over Europe. Not sure who copied whom :).
@@JamesandLaurent Thank you for replying. Usually UA-camrs don't check comments on such old videos.
What was your favorite part of the castle? There is so much detail in every room they certainly don't make things like this anymore. Loved library I am a book nerd so I would be all over that!
The library was pretty cool indeed :).
Wonder how they keep the tapestry clean and prevent it from degradation over hundreds of years.
I expected to see a painting of Sir Francis Haddock on the wall BTW 😉
We couldn't find the painting either 😂😅😂.
We are doing a study on Cheverny and was wondering if you could place a value on Cheverny what would it be with ?
Very hard question to answer. From a cash flow point of view, 350,000 visitors x 12 euros + ancillary revenue fro the restaurant and souvenir store, we would guess $7 million per year x 15 or 20 = $100 to $150 million. However, buying a chateau in France is like buying a 10-year old German car. All you are buying is lots of future maintenance. The chateau probably just breaks even. Cheverny also has a lot of paintings and antique furniture inside. Probably $50 million worth. But these are all wild guesses on our part. The unknown is whether a billionaire would be willing to pay a lot more than this, for the prestige, like they would be buying a football team.
James and Laurent's World Travels Thank you for responding we really appreciate your knowledge and input .
People without "humanity". Poor dogs
While we were there, we were wondering whether these dogs living in a pack were better of or worse off than Huskies living in a studio apartment in Arizona or Florida.
They have "hunt dogs" and make a show of them! Terrible.
Such a shame to hunt!!!
And dogs doesn't like to be used. Like all other Animals. Such a shame! Nothing to do with "nobility". Anyway no soul nobility
Then do not watch our video about the Cheverny dogs specifically :(
